A. Few GeographicaI Notes.

The Orinoco Is being explored by .
French traveller, M. Chaffanjon, who has
already discovered numerous errors In ex-
isting maps, and has made extensive scis
entific collections. The United States
fish commission is about to investigate
the fish bearing properties Of the Kiu
Sawa, or Black Stream, of Japan, which,
crossing the Pacific in q high latitude, Is
said to modify the temperature and cli-
mate Of Alaska and the Aleutian archi-
pelago in much the same mapner as the
British climate is modified by the Gulf
Streom. Prof. Neumnyer, Of Hamburg,
anticipates that Antarctic explorations,
whose great Importance he urges, viii
show that the south pole was a center ct
dispersion Of animals and plants for the
southern hemisphere, as the north pole Is
believed to have been for the northern.--

hfchMoNp, INDIANA.
When skies aro chill and leadep,
And from the dismal street
The tempest's murmnrs deaden
Tho fall Of passing feet;
When wild gusts seize the shutter,
And shake the looseped pane,
Aud dies to darkness utter
The dreary day OF raini
Above the nightfall stealing,
As o'or troubled breast,
The old church organ, pealing
Its twilight hymn of rest,
Sends forth message holy
Upon the sobbing air.
Bidding the tired soul fully
Yield mp herself in prayer,
Oh, thcn I fancy Heaven
Some echo gives release,
And falls upon the even
A moments pause Of peace.
As floats from dim St. Mary's
Unto the listening car,
The solemn benediction,
In accents sweet and cloar!
And when those unseen fingers
Waken the well-known chords,
For me an old spell fingers
In the familiar words.
Recalling angel whispers
From out the past again,
Which die to silence only
As dios the long amen.

A MICHIGAN SENSATION.
\ Case of Bribery Developed in the House

LANSING, MICH, April PA SEN
sational bribery case has come up in the
House OF Representatives. F. L. Eaton

of the charter of that place, charged that
Representative II. NJ. Dakin, (Democrat),
had given him list of members of the
After debate committee on investi

would vote in favorsOf EatOn's measure.
cation was appointed. EatOn's statement
mad been sworn to and he gave the names
of all the persons mentioned by Dakin.
The Speaker summoned all cfthem before
him. Dakin acknowledged the schedule of
fifteen members with the estimated brides
attached as his own work and signed q
statement to that effect. He further
stated that he had never approached any
of the members on the subject
of character. After the charges
were made in the House
an opportunity was given for denial, and
the clerk read note signed by Dakin
denying "the charges in toto" He re-
fused to allow his first statement to be
made public, and will not talk on the
subject. The members are highly indig-
nant, and Dakin W Il probablY be expelled
from the Legislature.
TO BE TRIED BY THE HOUSE.
LANSING, MIcH., April 21.-The com
mittee appointed to investigate the
course of Representative NJ. H. Dskin,
charged with having offered to purchase
the woes Of fifteen members, reported
this morning. They advised that day
be set for public examination of Dakin,
that he be allowed to appear and have
counsel for his defense, and that he be
provided with a copy of the exact charges
against him. The report was adopted
and his examination set for Tuesday
To-day the one topic is the Dakin
scandal.

pellee sued to recover e balance of 1888 :
33S due him as teacher, and put in evil
dence letter of one Mayfield, q trustee,
where he said that q majority of the
board favored appellee as teacher, and
that salary was $50 per month; $1,000
per year. When the board met it agreed
10 employ Hickey at S83! per month for
eight months, and it was so put on their
minutes. Hickey claimed at end of first
month Slll.1-9, or One-ninth of $1,000
per year, but accepted SS3k On the
trial Mayfeld was one of appellee's wit
nesses and testified that he had no
authority from the board to write the
letter to Hickey. The evidence shows
that the salary was only S83 Is per
month even if it were for one year $1,000,
which is the only legitimate construction
to be placed on the Mayfield letter. If he
was employed for a scholastic wear of
nine months at the most he can only re-
cover $50 Is for the ninth month. The
judgment is unsupported by evidence and
is reversed and remsnded.
East Texas Fire Insurance Company
vs.. A. L. Smith, from Cooke county
Opinion by Wilson, J. Appellee brought
suit to recover $3.50 insurance on g house
burned. The only sue contested was
that the policy had been forfeited because
the house was unoccupied at the time it
was burned. This issue was based on q
stipulation in the policy If the building
become "vacant or unOccupied for the
purposes indicated in this contract this
policy shall be void unless consent in
writing is Endorsed by the company
thereon"
Tho Of
twelve or fifteen days before it burned, at
eppellee's instance, to allow another
tenant to move in, and the house was de-
stTOyed before this last tenant occupied it,
The question is, was the vacatiDg of the
house such an one as to render the policy
void. 1t is clear that the house was
vacant when destroyed; suchvacancy was
practical because it lessened the vigilance
and care that would be incident to its
use. 1t was the fault of the appellee, and
he did not use due diligence to have the
house occupied, and he did not apply to
appellant for leave to allow it to .emain
vacant There is no ambiguity in the
contract and the policy was forfeited
Under the law and evidence appellee has
no cause Of action; the judgment is there
fore reversed and is rendered that ap-
pelee take nothing of his suit and appel
liant recover of him costs.
William Phillips VS.. the State, from
Denton county; opinion by Wilson, J.
This is a supposed violation of the local
option law, but it was rot violation in
fact, as the law did not go into effect I'M
til it had been published four consecutive
weeks, and in this case it was published
on the following dates: July 4, July IL,
July Is and July %, so that it did not go
into effect until August ,, and not on and
after July %, as was charged by the
court, land the judgment is reversed and
the cause Temanded.

NEW YORK, April 2I.-The stock mar
ket to-day presented a marked contrast
to that of yesterday, being specially weak,
and the improvement of last evening was
entirely wiped out, and in many cases
additional losses were sustained. The
opening was firm to strong, the first
prices generally showing advances over
last evenings final figuresl of from / to J
per cent. Under the pressure of freer
sales the market began to yield imme-
diately and slowly sagged off with no
special movement except in New England
and consolidated gas. After
p. m, however, the downward
movement gathered force, and Reading,
Jersey Central and Union Pacific bee ame
prominent in the decline. In the last
half hour the decline was checked, and
the C Ose was firm, at fraction better
than the lowest figures.
